Seven deadly sins -- seven lively Asian cities. We all stray off the path of righteousness from time to time.
So if you're going to end up in hell due to a temptation to eat more than your fair share of stinky tofu, take a detour to Taipei first. Or if pride's your vice, take a turn toward Manila.
Click through the pages to see how these Asian cities take a sin and turn it into a raison d'être.
1.Gluttony: Taipei, Taiwan
Cheap eats, everywhere, day or night.
Taipei sports 18 streets dedicated to nothing other than food. Where you might usually expect a bus shelter, instead you'll find a barbecue. Sidewalks become snack stalls. The pungent smell of stinky tofu fills the air.
Night markets in Taipei have become famous for their snack selections, or xiaochi, literally meaning "small eats."
The dishes may be little, but so are the prices, running around US$1-2 dollars. A fat gut never came so easily.
2.Sloth: Seoul, South Korea
When South Koreans are not racking up overtime, they're collecting bandwidth fees.
Seoul’s Internet has been honed, sculpted, streamlined and sped up to such a degree that no one really needs to move, at all, ever, except maybe when the orc hordes descend in "World of Warcraft" and some rapid double-clicking is required.
South Korea has been ranked the 15th laziest country in the world (and the first in Asia) by The Daily Beast. And there's every reason to assume they'll get even lazier.
A recently proposed government policy seeks to advance digital technology in the capital, partly influenced by demand for online gaming and streaming video, and will take Internet speeds to 1,000 Mbps by 2012.
So if some of the 39 million connected South Koreans wanted to emulate their favourite national soccer heroes, they may as well just do it via "FIFA Manager."
3. Pride: Manila, PhilippinesMuch is made about the loveliness of the Filipino female. But you wouldn't know it by talking to the Filipino men -- they're too busy gazing lustfully into the mirror.
According to a study from Synovate, Filipino men are the most narcissistic in Asia. A whopping 48 percent consider themselves sexually attractive.
And if the ladies reading this think the guys' encounters with the brow tweezers are for your benefit, sorry -- nine out of 10 Filipino men polled said they liked to look good for themselves, not anyone else.
By way of comparison, just 25 percent of men in Singapore considered themselves sexually attractive, 17 percent in China and Taiwan and a measly 12 percent of Hong Kong guys think the same.
4. Greed: Shenzhen, China
The financial crisis is for suckers.
When everyone else was tightening the belts, Shenzhen car ried on regardless, pumping out billions of dollars worth of high-tech products.
Shenzhen is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, with a provincial GDP of US$42 billion -- that's more than some countries such as Guatemala and Lebanon, and four times more than Iceland.
Meanwhile, China's millionaires keep millionairing -- it won't be long before there are 1 million U.S. dollar millionaires in the country, guided by Shenzhen's philosophy: if you can't make a million, make a billion.
5. Lust: Tokyo, JapanJapan's sex industry is worth an estimated ¥2.5 trillion (US$30 billion), second only to the country's automobile industry. Is there any competition?
According to “Pink Box” author Joan Sinclair, “Japan offers absolutely everything imaginable.”
From gratuitous puke porn (and worse) to the barely titillating maid cafes, Tokyo is like a dirty old man in a teenager's body. But one who celebrates his lewd desires with the gusto of an exhibitionist poodle on heat.
Head here to indulge your fetishes or simply to have yourself bathed by a pretty young thing in a uniform.
6. Envy: New Delhi, IndiaMore Indians emigrated in 2010 than any other nationality in the world except for Mexicans, according to the World Bank's Migration and Remittances Factbook 2011.
Some 11.4 million Indians headed elsewhere to find a better life, drawn by the lure of things done properly.
India, and its capital New Delhi, has the world's worst case of grass-is-greener syndrome.
7. Wrath: Pyongyang, North Korea
Pugnacious, belligerent, quarrelsome ... the North Korean capital is the moody adolescent of the continent. But unlike most spotty delinquents who express their angry insecurities by piercing body parts or coloring their hair, this one sinks ships and shells islands.
North Korea's national sport is Taekwondo. If there's a food shortage, the military get served first. Propaganda films talk of the "invincible power" of the North Korean army and posters in the capital state, "The way to peace is on the point of a bayonet."
Its army comprises nearly 1 million troops, out of a nation of 24 million.
Still, the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il does claim to have made the world's best ever golf score -- an astonishing 38 under par on a regulation 18-hole course incuding five holes-in-one. And that on his first ever attempt, too.
Perhaps he's not so bad.
七宗功——七个生机勃勃的亚洲城市。我们一次又一次偏离邪道。
所以，假设你正因多食了一块臭豆腐而走向天堂，起首应该绕道往一下台北。假设你为你的卖淫活动感应骄傲，那么你应该往马尼拉（菲律宾）看看。
1. 贪食：台湾，台北
廉价的食食到处可见，无论日夜。
台北有18条专门的小食街。在那里，公车站酿成了烧烤店，人行道酿成了小食摊。空气中充满着臭豆腐的辛辣味。台北的夜市也因品种繁多的小食而出名。食物的重量小，但价格廉价，大约1-2美圆。
2. 懒散：韩国，首尔
当韩国人不忙着加班时，他们就忙着上彀。
韩国的收集颠末磨砺、雕蚀，已经变得十分顺畅，速度快到你底子不需要挪动；除非兽人部落堕进了“魔兽世界”或者需要快速双击。每日野兽网排布展现，在全世界最懒散的国度中，韩国排在第15位（亚洲第一）。有足够证据展现，他们很可能变得愈加懒散。
比来提议的一份政策试图改进首尔的数字手艺，部门是为了称心在线游戏及视频流的需要。而那也会促使收集速度的提拔。如许，假设韩国人民想要赶上国民足球英雄的脚步，只要通过“国际足球联盟”就能够了。
3. 骄傲：菲律宾，马尼拉
菲律宾妇女有许多的心爱之处，但假设你没有与菲律宾男性议论过，你就不会领会他们的魅力——他们经常色迷迷地盯着镜子瞧。
根据思纬公司的查询拜访，菲律宾汉子是亚洲最自恋的的人。48%的汉子自认为十分性感。
一些读到那篇文章的女性可能会觉得如许的汉子对本身有益处，很遗憾，百分之九十的菲律宾汉子只期看本身都雅，而不是其别人。
比拟较而言，只要25%的新加坡汉子自认为性感，中国和台湾只要17%，而香港只要12%。
4. 贪婪：中国，深圳
经融危机是由那些吸血者引起的。
当每小我都勒紧裤腰带时，深圳仍然无所顾忌，陆续推出价值数以亿计的高科技产物。
深圳是全世界增长最快的城市，全市的GDP为420亿美圆。比一些国度还多，例如危地马拉和黎巴嫩；以至是冰岛的四倍。
同时，中国的百万财主陆续增加，不久深圳就会有一百万个百万美圆财主。深圳的理念是：假设你赚不了一百万，就赚个十亿。
5. 淫欲：日本，东京
日本的性财产值大约是2.5万亿（300亿美圆），仅次于其汽车财产。存在合作关系吗？
据“粉红盒”做者Joan Sinclair 所说：“日本赐与所有你能想到的工具。”
从免费的令人做恶（或更蹩脚的）色情书刊到女仆咖啡厅，东京就像一个青少年体内的下贱的糟老头，与裸露癖患者配合称心下贱的性欲。
在那里，你能够称心你的恋物癖，或者将本身洗澡在礼服下的标致女郎中。
6. 忌恨：印度，新德里
根据《世界银行2011年移民与汇款年鉴》，2010年，除了墨西哥外，移民的较多是印度人。
在一些事物的诱惑下，大约1140万印度人移民到其他国度以求过得更好。
印度及其首都新德里患有史上最严峻的忌恨情节——草坪老是他人的绿。
7．愤慨：朝鲜，平壤
好斗、好战、好争论…朝鲜首都就像是亚洲大陆上喜怒无常的青少年。但他们与大大都乌烟瘴气的地痞差别，地痞通过打耳洞或染头发来发泄本身的愤慨，而他们击沉船只或贝壳岛。
朝鲜的民族体育是跆拳道。假设粮食欠缺，起首要喂饱的就是军人.
鼓吹片鼎力大举鼓吹朝鲜军人的“无敌力量”，首都的海报鼓吹“实现和平的体例就在刺刀的刀尖上”。
朝鲜生齿总共24百万，此中有一百万呆在戎行。
然而，朝鲜指导人 扬言已经到达世界更高的高尔夫球得分——在18洞的原则场地上打出令人惊异的低于原则杆数的38杆，还包罗5个一杆进洞。他第一次测验考试就实现了目标。看来，他还不差。
